Family Health is pleased to announce that on January 3, 2017, Dr. Lindsey King joined our practice. Dr. King joins Dr. Robert McLear and Dr. Krista Swensen at Family Health Eye Care located at 133 W. Main St., Greenville.

We are very excited to welcome Dr. King to our practice. She will see patients of all ages but has a passion and strong focus on vision care for children with special emphasis on pediatric and binocular vision.

Dr. King received her Doctorate of Optometry from The Ohio State University and is a member of both the Ohio and American Optometric Associations., as well as the Optometric Extension Program Foundation.

Dr. King offers an InfantSEE assessment for infants between the ages 6 months to 12 months that is 100% free. The assessment offers early detection of potential eye and vision problems and is a compliment to the eye screening conducted during a pediatric well-child visit. To learn more about this program visit Infantsee.org. Early next fall, Dr. King plans to offer vision therapy services for patients ranging from school age through adulthood that are experiencing difficulty with eye strain, headaches, double vision, avoidance of near work, poor sports performance, dizziness or motion sickness and difficulty reading and concentrating. School age patients that would benefit from vision therapy services may be experiencing the following problems that can impact their ability to read: skipping or re-reading lines, poor reading comprehension, extended time to complete homework, reversing letters like “b” and “d” and a short attention span with reading and schoolwork.

Family Health Eye Care opened our doors to patients on March 2016 and is a natural extension of Family Health's mission and commitment to provide for the healthcare needs of the underserved in our county regardless of their faith, race, age or ability to pay. We accept Medicaid, patient pay, the Prevent Ohio Blindness Program to patients below 200% of the poverty level, sliding fee discounts and bill private insurance companies as needed. We also provide a 15% discount to our patients if they pay in full at the time of service.

Family Health is a model for health centers across the country in managing chronic disease, promoting wellness, demonstrating cost effectiveness and empowering our patients to engage in healthy behaviors. Our mission statement is “building healthy lives together….” We support this mission by providing an array of services: medical care, behavioral health, laboratory, radiology, pharmacy services, dental services and patient education and support, but despite all these services, Family Health identified a huge need for vision services.

Family Health Eye Care is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm and Saturdays 8 am to 12 noon. For an appointment please call (937)548-6111.

Reader Comments About DarkeJournal

Thanks to your wonderful “for sale” and “garage sale” section. I have used both successfully. Keep up the great reporting.

From someone who used the unclassifieds: "Thanks to DJ we rented [out] the house!"

We understand your site really has the best coverage for our county.

Darke Journal is a great website. We kept up with the weather and all the local news on a recent trip. Keep up the GREAT WORK.

Keep up the excellent work with the site. Its refreshing to have such a glowing forum for thought and info in the area!

I'm a huge fan of Darke Journal - thanks for providing this website/email information for the community.

I think we can all agree, this is the best site of its kind for Darke County by far.

Your web site has been a great advertising place for our programs ... we always receive lots of calls. Thanks for all you do.

Must say I think you have done a really great job with the site.

Your web site is such a benefit to the community.

......the journal ROCKS!!!!!

Thanks for all your help. Darke Journal is the number one source for Darke County community news.

I have truly enjoyed keeping up with the Darke County news, but the constant reporting on conservative causes is totally inappropriate.

Darke Journal is sure on top of everything.

I really appreciate you running and bumping the garage sale ad over the last few days. My son and I had a really successful sale, and your site was a big help in making that happen (many people told us that they heard about it through DJ).

I am a huge fan of your website. It brings more useful information than the newspaper does and even though I am attending college and am away from home, I still check out your website about once a day to keep up on local events.

I just love your website. It's better than any newspaper or TV program. Keep up the good work.

I like the DJ because it just gives the facts pure and simple. I also like to read what the readers think. You keep up the good work & you will grow!

I am so glad that I found this site. It is so nice to have such an upbeat & unbiased Darke County news. I look forward to checking it each day. I just found it this month. Plus, I can feel free to voice my concerns on issues. Great web site!

When I turn on my computer in the morning, I check the weather and Darke Journal before anything else. Thank you for the pix & info on this site. It's nice to know what's going on in our great Darke County.

You are doing a great service and this is a great media outlet!

It just gets better and better! Truly, the 'mix' is what makes it so good for all readers.

DJ = nice guy, but should relinquish his website duties.

This is a wonderful site! I am so glad there is a place in this community where people can voice their opinion about issues. In the past for many years this community seems to be run by so called political people with others hiding in the brush waiting to inform their leaders of those who disagree with an issue on hand, just so they can point them out and try to ruin their life. Again I am so glad finally, an average Joe can make an Anonymous posted opinion and not fear that they will be pointed at or looked down for stating how they feel. Thank you D. J.

It’s better than most of the media available in and around Darke County.

The web site has had steadily increasing viewership over the last year or two and, at least in my opinion, has become a major player in getting news and commentary to Darke Countians.
